Works on my Eris OTA 2.1. I don't have any idea if it works with any specific rom's at this point.
Thanks to es0tericcha0s for the link

Here you go:
Hope this works for everyone else.

Will this work if I'm getting the "trial expired" error message? Thanks.

No. Google "swype 2.4.44 hvga hacked"
You'll find the .apk file you need within the first few posts, I bet.
Good luck, soldier.

I found a copy of shapewriter that doesnt expire on their forum since my legit beta copy of swype isnt working on my 2.2 rom. It actually runs better than the 2.4 hacked version of swype that I found. It has a few differences between it and swype but I definitely like how much quicker it responds on my eris.

I found a 2.44 hvga cracked copy... It was on some other forum and it works perfect...

Is it safe to assume that these would require being rooted to work? I just did the google search, downloaded and installed...and it doesn't seem to have worked. I have swype in my settings, and I enabled it, but it does not seem to have impacted any of the e-mail or messaging apps that I have installed. I am on 2.1.

I figured it out. I needed to press down until prompted for the input method. Now its working, and I like it. It's maybe a little bit slower than me typing, but its significantly more accurate so in the end its also much faster. Muchas gracias.

Are there any fixes for using pinch to zoom with swype running? Every time I enable the swype keyboard, the multitouch capabilities crash.

Do you also have the DroidX multi-touch keyboard installed? For me, Swype and the DroidX keyboard are mutually exclusive. Having both installed at the same time makes my touch screen very unresponsive.

I have both keyboards installed. Unfortunately, I cannot (don't know how to) uninstall the DroidX keyboard since it was included in my phone's current ROM. However, I did find that once I switched to the default HTC keyboard, multi-touch support came back.

I think if you just avoid opening the multi-touch keyboard after reboot, it won't load its libraries into memory. I could be wrong though.

Why isn't Swype on the market? if its on the new phones why is it still in beta form?

[Q] Android Keyboard from 2.1 -> 2.2

I don't know about you guys, but I've never been a fan of Swype or Samsung's keyboard, but I loved the Android Keyboard. Does anyone know if it works or have the apk for it? I wanna try and put it back on my 2.2 install and test it out.
I just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744373
Looks kinda like what I was looking for, but without the little part that slides upwards for the numbers.

This is what you're looking for.
LatinIME.apk
1. Put it on your SD card
2. Install via whatever you like to use.
or use the ADB to install it.

Thank you. That was just what I looking for. Only thing is, even when I enable the vibrate on keypress, it's not giving me any haptic feedback.

I'm using the keyboard here, listed under FroYo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740301
Just install it as a regular app.

And do you get haptic feedback on the Android kb?
Edit: Yepp, the one from the AOSP thread actually has working feedback. Thank you MikeyMike.
Edit2: I lied. It doesn't. Lol

I've been using AnySoftKeyboard from the market.

Guys... You can enable it in the input options...
Settings > Locale and Text > Android Keyboard.

I know that. In 2.2 there is no android keyboard, they got rid of it. I want it back because I find it superior. However none of the ones I've installed have haptic feedback like they did on 2.1 and that's what I want. And yes I know that you have to enable it in the settings.

I don't know if I hate haptic feedback or the samsung keyboard more. The Android keyboard is the best one out there (IMHO)

My whole point in creating this thread was to get the Android Keyboard back on 2.2 and have it fully functioning. Meaning I wanted the haptic feedback on it to work and it doesn't. Was there another file or something that went with the LatinIME.apk on 2.1 that I don't know about or couldn't find? Can anybody shed some light on this situation? I desperately hate the Swype and Samsung Keyboards.

No luck with this? I would like to have the Android 2.1 keyboard back as well. (with the hepatic response)

No luck. But I think I may know what the problem is.
On a few of the android keyboards I've seen around the forums, some of them had a corresponding .so file. I don't really know what that is, but I'll go do some research, rummage through my JF6 dump, and post my results here.
Edit1: Ok, so here is what I found. A .so file is a shared object file. Not quite sure what it actually does still, but the Android Keyboard (AOSP) has a .so file that goes with it. I'm guessing that this file is what allows the keyboard to have haptic feedback. I'm going to take the one from my JF6 dump and push it to JI6 and see what happens after a reboot.

can't use both of them at the same time as they both use the same file names.
EDIT: they do have option for vibrate on key press (haptic) though doesnt work.

Neither of them have haptic feedback on 2.2. I just tried both. And yes I did enable it in the keyboard settings. This is really frustrating. Why the heck did they remove this keyboard??

just realized it doesnt work though it is an option. my fault!
i never liked it anyways so im not missing anything

I'm experiencing the same thing, default froyo keyboard on a captivate with froyo, no haptic feedback.
So far I've tried:
- a bunch of different google searches for the same issue
- finding the apk in /system/app and giving it full permissions + reboot + uncheck and recheck the haptic feedback setting
- poking around the file system to see if I can find any settings to mess with
I understand froyo for the captivate is pretty new, but I'm surprised more people aren't asking about the best keyboard (IMO) missing a significant feature.

I agree. This is a superb keyboard and should not have been taken out
Sent from my Captivate

Yes I agree that the Android keyboard is awesome! Actually it was one of the reasons I liked my switch from iPhone. It's so easy to type with unlike most touch keyboards. Why in the world would Samsung get rid of it? Talk about a step backwards. I hesitate to update my phone now. I hope someone can come up with the perfect fix....
*typed on my android keyboard*

I just wish I could figure out a way to hack it back onto 2.2 in 100% working order. Everything works except for the haptic feedback and I cannot figure out why.

Took me a while to find this post and was wondering if anything has come of this? I just recenetly flashed to the latest cognition froyo build and ran into this exact same issue, however their latest build came with an android keyboard. Has anyone found a solution to this?

swype or ultra keyboard?

i tried installing both of these apps and neither work.
is there anything out there to make em work? or is there another swype style keyboard?
i am TERRIBLE at typing. its just not at receptive of a touch screen as the ipad. but i like the android way way more.
its like i have to press harder to get a key pressed.
thanks in advance
EDIT : also love the feature to type from ultra keyboard with your voice. obviously voice search works on the tab, but im loooking to do emails and such with voice too.. possible?
thanks

Have you run the touch calibration?

i have not... ill search around for it in the menu and clockworkmod

i did the screen calibration. didnt really do anything. its just possible the screen just isnt quite as responsive if i would like.
swype or ultrakeyboard is much more important to me
thanks

It's Swype for me...
I'm a big fan of Swype. I use it on my Droid phone and cannot live without it. I also have it on my gtablet, and continue to love it, although swyping on the large screen in landscape mode takes a little getting used to. Swyping in portrait mode is much better. However, I still like it over others.
Installing Swype is not a simple thing, since the normal install apps check in with Swype headquarters, where you'll be told you are not a phone, so goodbye. And many of the apks for the app will say your screen is not the right size. But search this site, and you will find many threads on the subject, including the link to the proper apk. Basically, you will have to google for a specific version of swype, and then track it down yourself.
It is not impossible. But worth the search.

I know you didn't ask about it, but IMO thumb keyboard is the best for our g tabs

I tried this, and while I like the large keys, I don't like the fact that it takes 100% of the screen up, absolutely useless for IMS or emails or almost anything else. I want something similar to the gingerbread keyboard but with taller, more square like buttons. I've tried using the TapaTalk or whatever it is on my VeganGinger install but it doesn't work at all.

Before I switched to thumb i was using SwiftKey, which was free on amazon Store not too long ago. It reminds me of the g bread kb. I wanted exactly what you wanted, a bigger g bread kb, but now I'm happy with thumb. Good luck.

The one-touch calibration app in this subforum did not work for me, but the calibrate.ini trick (where you put a blank file named calibration.ini in the root of your microSD card and reboot) did work for me. I was stabbing at icons left and right before (especially the home soft button, ARGH!), wanting to toss the Tab out the window, but now it's as sensitive as my Evo's screen.

Swype is easy to install if you find the right file. It doesn't really work all that well on a 10" in landscape mode though. You have to move your hand around too much to make it effective.
I have been using Thumb Keyboard from the Market. I can type with only my thumbs while holding the tablet in my hands. In landscape mode it puts each side of the keyboard close to the sides so the keys are easily reachable. In portrait mode I have it set to just give me the normal full keyboard. It works great and I highly recommend checking it out. It costs a buck or 2.

My only problem with Swype, at least the version I have, is that you cannot turn off the dictionary lookup auto correct. So if the word isn't in the dictionary (websites, usernames, etc...) swype will try to autocorrect to what it thinks it should be, or pop up the guesser window with nothing even close.
Also swype uses up the whole screen for many imput windows which isn't really needed on a tablet, but whatever.

I use SlideIT 3.2, works perfectly.

i just downloaded thumb keyboard. when i go in to language and keyboard, it wont let me populate the check box, enabling it.
it gives me the lil warning, then just wont check.
any help please?

Both versions in the Marketplace say for Android 3.0...just guessing.

tried swype but using slideit
I tried swype. i got it installed, then moved to /system/app but it wouldn't work other than as a normal keyboard. tried slide-it and it works great.

[Q] android stock keyboard

Any way to get stock ICS keyboard on an att vivid rom? The stuff in the market is sketchy

as of right now there isn't any way, however thumb keyboard is a fantastic substitute to the htc keyboard, or even perfect or swift key.
however thumb has been my favorite
Play Store shortcut:

I'm not trying to push a product its just that I've tried many different keyboards and this one has the most customization.

Im using Go Keyboard right now since its the most popular.

Hacker Keyboard is my favorite. It's very accurate, adjustable size, and loads of features.

Cool. Thanks. Let's hope we get stock ICS keyboard on this.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA

There is an "ICS Keyboard" in the market, both a free and paid version. Its actually one of my favorite keyboards simply because it's so responsive on my rather low end device. I switch around though, I keep Go Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard for when I feel like switching things up.
I've used a LOT of keyboards on the market :-/

perfectly good ICS keyboards in market...i've been using the same one for 3 weeks.ICS Keyboard by Binary Bulge. the free one...

Installation Process
Question: is the installation process similar at all to the way you did it in the past? First install the keyboard, then go turn the keyboard on in settings, then go to a text input field and long-press and get settings, choose the newly installed keyboard? This is not working for me, I can install, and enable the keyboard, but I cannot find any way to switch my input method!
If you know the answer I'll thank your response
But seriously, thanks

this is the only one i found.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImplbGx5YmVhbmtleWJvYXJkLmYuZyJd
it works however it doesnt strech the keys as much as it should be. if anyone has another version thats better please let me know as im also interested!

You may have to copy the APK to /system/app/ and reboot your phone. You'll have to be rooted, of course.
My other suggestion is to try TouchPal, even if Swype isn't your thing. It's a free keyboard, so you don't really have anything to lose trying it.
